Meet Paola von Oelffen

Licensed counselor, trauma-informed practitioner, and compassionate guide for your journey.

My Story

Paola graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and received a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Martin's University.

She is currently licensed in South Carolina as an LPCA, and also licensed in Washington state as an LMHCA and SUDPT. Paola interned at Providence St. Peter's Chemical Dependency program in Olympia, Washington, focused on co-occurring disorders including substance abuse and mental health.

She is a trauma-informed counselor with experience in domestic violence treatment. Paola brings warmth, curiosity, and deep respect for each person's unique path to every session.

"I want to offer you a space to download your fears, your anger and your disappointment, so that we can work through it together."
